How Aparche works.

Everything about providing liquidity on Elysium through Aparche, managing your positions, and how the Engine and $APARCHE fit in. Plain language, no fine print hidden elsewhere.

On this page

Overview

Aparche gives you two ways to earn from the trading on Elysium, Kinetiq's chain:

Provide liquidity yourself
Deposit into the busiest Uniswap v4 pools on Elysium straight from your wallet. Traders pay a fee on every swap through the pool, and liquidity providers in range share it. You keep full control and manage everything from the Portfolio.
Hold $APARCHE
3% of every $APARCHE trade goes to the Engine. It picks the best possible pools on Elysium, puts that money to work there, and pays what it earns to holders in KNTQ every 6 hours. Nothing to claim or stake.
Aparche never holds your funds. Every transaction is signed in your own wallet and goes directly to Uniswap v4's contracts on Elysium. Your positions are NFTs in your wallet.

Getting started

  1. 1Get a wallet that allows custom networks, like MetaMask or Rabby. Click Connect in the top right and pick it.
  2. 2Switch to Elysium. The site asks your wallet to switch, or to add the network if it's new: chain ID 99901, currency HYPE.
  3. 3Have some HYPE on Elysium. You need it for network fees, and it's one side of most pools. Keep a little aside for gas.
  4. 4Pick a pool on the Pools page, set a range and deposit. Your position appears in the Portfolio.

Pools

The Pools page lists the busiest Uniswap v4 pools on Elysium that pay their liquidity providers a real fee. Pools with custom hooks, zero-fee pools, look-alike tokens and spam pools are left out. Every number is read live from the chain.

Volume 24h
The dollar value of everything traded through the pool in the last 24 hours.
Fees 24h
What those trades paid to the pool's liquidity providers: volume × the pool's fee tier.
Est. APR
What a $1,000 position at ±10% would earn in a year if the last 24 hours of fees repeated and the price stayed in range. It is an estimate, not a promise: thin pools show very high numbers because $1,000 would be a big share of them, and one quiet day changes it fast.
Fee tier
The share of each swap paid to liquidity providers: 0.05%, 0.20%, 0.30% or 1.00% depending on the pool.

Ranges

Uniswap v4 uses concentrated liquidity: you choose a price range, and your liquidity only works (and only earns) while the price is inside it. Each pool's page shows the last 24 hours of price with your range as a band, and a liquidity ladder: how many dollars other providers have at each price level.

Narrow (±1.5%)
Earns the most per dollar while the price stays inside, but leaves the range soonest. Needs the most attention.
Balanced (±4%)
A middle ground between earning and staying in range.
Wide (±10%)
The width the Engine uses for its own liquidity. Stays in range through normal moves.
Full range
Always in range, earns the least per dollar. Closest to a classic liquidity pool.
Custom
Any range you like, including lopsided ones. Drag the Max or Min line on the chart, drag the whole band to slide it, drag a grip or click a level on the liquidity ladder, or type the prices. Each preset card shows its estimated APR, and so does your custom range.

A range can also sit entirely above or below the current price. It then holds only one token and starts earning once the price moves into it.

Inside the range, a position holds both tokens. As the price moves, it gradually shifts toward the token that is falling. At either edge it is entirely one token.

Depositing

Pick a pool, set the range, then choose how to fund it:

Both tokens
Type an amount of either token and the other is filled in for your range at the current price. No swap needed.
One token only
Put in just one token (for example only HYPE). The right share is swapped to the other token first, so the deposit fits your range. The swap amount accounts for its own price impact, so very little is left over.

Before you click, the deposit form lists every signature your wallet will ask for, shows the quoted swap and its price impact, the deposit value, the Engine fee and an estimate of fees earned per day.

Approvals
The first time you use a token, your wallet asks you to approve it for Permit2 and then let the Uniswap contract use it. These are one-time steps per token; they are skipped automatically once done.
Price impact
A warning appears above 1%. Above 15% the deposit is refused: deposit both tokens or a smaller amount instead.
Too-thin pools
If most of a deposit couldn't fit the range at the current price, the site refuses it before you sign anything.
Slippage
How far the price may move between signing and the transaction landing before it cancels itself. Default 0.5%; change it with the slippage button.

Fees

Pool fees
Paid by traders to liquidity providers on every swap, at the pool's fee tier. This is what your position earns.
Deposit fee
0.1% of each deposit (and of each addition to a position) is sent to the Engine, as a separate HYPE transfer you can see in the signature list. Wallets holding at least 1 $APARCHE deposit free.
Moving a range
Free. The liquidity is already deposited, so no Engine fee is charged.
Collecting and removing
No Aparche fee. You only pay the network fee in HYPE.
Network fees
Every transaction costs a small amount of HYPE in gas, paid to the network.

Your portfolio

The Portfolio shows everything your wallet holds on Aparche, read live from Elysium:

Total value
Your positions plus the pool tokens in your wallet, in dollars.
In positions
What your positions are worth now, including their uncollected fees, and how many are in range.
Uncollected fees
Fees your positions have earned and you haven't collected yet.
Est. per day
What your in-range positions would earn in a day if the last 24 hours of trading repeated.
Share of pool
Your liquidity as a share of all liquidity active at the current price.
Wallet
Your balance of every token in the listed pools, with a shortcut to use it in a pool, and your $APARCHE holding and Engine payouts.

Collect, add, remove, move

Select a position to open its manager. Every action shows its steps before you sign and a link to each transaction after.

Collect
Sends the earned fees to your wallet. The liquidity stays and keeps earning. With several positions, Collect all does them in a row.
Add
Adds more liquidity to the same position (same range, same NFT), with both tokens or just one.
Remove
Takes any share out, from 1% to 100%. Uncollected fees come with it. 100% closes the position and burns its NFT.
Move range
Re-centers a position on the current price: it withdraws the position with its fees, swaps to the mix the new range needs, and deposits again as a new NFT. One guided flow, no Engine fee.

Out of range

When the price moves past either edge of your range, the position stops earning and sits entirely in one token: the one that fell. The Portfolio marks it Out of range and tells you which side the price is on.

You can wait for the price to come back, or use Move range to put the liquidity back to work around the current price. Moving locks in the price change, so think of it like rebalancing.

The Engine

Every $APARCHE trade on Montra pays a 3% fee, and that fee goes to the Engine. The Engine keeps checking Elysium's pools, puts the money to work as liquidity in the best possible ones (by fees, volume and depth), moves when a better pool appears, and pays what it earns to $APARCHE holders in KNTQ every 6 hours.

The Engine is a public wallet (its address is published at launch). Fees in, positions and payouts are on-chain transactions anyone can check, and the Engine dashboard shows them live.

Holding $APARCHE

Where
$APARCHE launches on Montra, on Elysium.
Payouts
Every 6 hours, in KNTQ, split by how much you hold and for how long. Hold it in a normal wallet; there is nothing to claim or stake.
Deposit perk
Holders deposit into any pool on Aparche without the 0.1% fee.
Supply
Montra places the whole supply in its pool at launch and its contracts can't remove it. No owner, no mint, no tax switch.
Payouts depend on how much $APARCHE trades and how much the Engine's liquidity earns. They are not guaranteed, and the token's price can fall.

Risks

Price moves
A position holds two tokens and moves with both. When the price moves, it ends up with more of the token that fell, so it can be worth less than simply holding the tokens (often called impermanent loss). Fees earned may or may not make up for it.
Out of range
A position outside its range earns nothing until the price returns or you move it.
Estimates
APR and per-day figures assume the last 24 hours repeat. Real earnings change with trading activity and competition from other providers.
Smart contracts
Deposits go into Uniswap v4's audited contracts on Elysium. Like any smart contract, they carry some risk.
Tokens
Some pool tokens are new or thin and can move sharply or lose value.
Nothing here is financial advice. Only deposit what you can afford to lose.

Security and contracts

Aparche is a website on top of Uniswap v4. It has no contract that holds user funds: deposits go from your wallet into the pool, and the position NFT is minted to your wallet. You can always manage or withdraw your positions with any Uniswap v4 interface.
